About this property

Lahar Alpine Retreat - Hot Tub, Mountain Views & Secluded Bush Setting

Now with complementary WIFI.

Wrapped in wood, this authentic log cabin is a joy to come home to after a day in the great outdoors.

This peaceful retreat is close to the Mount Ruapehu's skifeilds, biking and hiking trails including the Tongariro Crossing. We are located between Ruapehu's Turoa and Whakapapa ski-fields allowing guests to make the most of their ski holiday - simply choose which field has the best conditions on the day.

During the day, enjoy easy access to ski slopes, bike trails and Ohakune village. At night snuggle up with friends or family around the log fire to catch up on the day, cook delicious meals from well equipped kitchen and watch a DVD. Later you can challenge your party to a game of monopoly or end the day with a long soak in the outdoor tub.

The outdoor bath fits 2 comfortably and is perfectly positioned on the deck for looking out over the bush and the mountain, or at night - for star gazing. It is fed by an infinity gas hot water system.

All bedrooms are accessed from the tree trunk stairwell. The master bedroom houses a queen bed and desk space for your laptop. The second bedroom consists of a queen bed and a 'bunk room' - a cozy space enjoyed by kids and adults alike. The bunk room is separated for privacy by a permanent dividing wall. The sunny little balcony off the bedrooms is the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee and soak in the views. Beds are made up on your arrival and freshly laundered towels are provided.

Ski and bike storage is easy in the covered carport while the log fire and drying cupboard make getting you gear ready for the next day easy.

Children love the log cabin (and arguing over who gets the top bunk). For their safety a stair gate and a fire guard is provided.

The cabin is located off SH4 near the northern exit of the "Old Coach Road" cycle-way in Horopito. Ohakune and National Park Village are both a short drive away making this a great location to access the region's skiing, cycling, golfing and hiking.

Great location and beautiful house
Review in English: Despite the constant rain, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was equipped with everything we needed. The issue with the missing TV remote was quickly resolved, allowing us to spend our time indoors watching movies. The cabin is quite old, which is noticeable here and there, especially at the windows. What we found really impressive were the bathtub and the wood stove.

Fantastic stay again
Such a special spot. A perfect, peaceful place to spend a rainy day, or as a launching pad for the beautiful walks in the area, when the weather co-operates.

About the host

Hosted by Olivia Bishop

Host profile image
Steve and myself are Ruapheu locals, living on our farm which borders the Tongariro National Park. We are fortunate to have unobstructed views of Mount Ruapehu with Ohakune as our local town where we enjoy the cafes and restaurants the village has to offer.

The great outdoors is our backyard with both summer and winter activities, cycling, skiing, hiking and rafting to name a few. We love to get out there both at home and abroad!

We are excited to be able to offer guest the gorgeous Lahar Alpine Cabin for their stay in Ohakune.
